According to the fellow who did the installation, they are using some new fangled technology that allows receive/transmit using only one core.

I have been doing LAN/WAN networking for years, but have yet to hear of this technology. Am I seriously outdated, or is the tech shitting me?

PS I had the cable run in my storeroom next to the circuit breaker. Took only an hour.

Sounds like fast switching simplex? There's no way to transfer 2 streams of light through a single fibre optic.

i've got the letter a couple of days ago..

should i get them to install in the most central point of my house??

the tech has been awhile for some time now.just some wavelength multiplexing .its using red wavelength as downstream n green wavelength as upsetream

[DragonFire]

Mmmm what is the tech called? Time to reads up heheheh.

CUSCO stuff: or WDM for wiki
1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U SFP for Single-Fiber Bidirectional Applications
The 1000BASE-BX-D and 1000BASE-BX-U SFPs, compatible with the IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U standards, operate on a single strand of standard SMF.
A 1000BASE-BX10-D device is always connected to a 1000BASE-BX10-U device with a single strand of standard SMF with an operating transmission range up to 10 km.
The communication over a single strand of fiber is achieved by separating the transmission wavelength of the two devices as depicted in Figure 3: 1000BASE-BX10-D transmits a 1490-nm channel and receives a 1310-nm signal, whereas 1000BASE-BX10-U transmits at a 1310-nm wavelength and receives a 1490-nm signal. Note in Figure 3 the presence of a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) splitter integrated into the SFP to split the 1310-nm and 1490-nm light paths.

Sweet thanks!

Someone on Ebay is selling Cisco compatible 1000BASE-BX10-D SFPs for about US$100 a piece.

The ones compatible with my ProCurve switch unfortunately retail at US$1100. Time to watch Ebay like a hawk lol.

just hoot first ah think later!
well speaking of procurve i still need tt damn mounting kit ahaha

2012

[kuroALIEN]

._. I also Your building might be scheduled for installation after 2012.

those who had it installed, how's the speed? got improvement?

... Service starts Q1 next year

[erickwan1989]

erm i have install already last month. if really want to test the speed need to change alot of thing router that can support 1000g speed and your switch also
